suggestion the broken screen issues - dallytaur - 11-19-2020
This broken phone screen issue has been a bing for years, but I had an idea for a long term fix.
Make the phone top layer of the sreen plastic and put a screen protector and if possible put a 1mm indent around the casing to indent it.
The screen protector is the main glass of the device so in the event that you smash your screen, and you can peel it off and put a new one on(or go with a plastic screen for a while).
The big guys in the phone world don't do this because they lose the screen repair bill they and charge and also make the phone useful for longer, so people buy new ones, they lose money.
